    test your fortitude

    Guys here is an exercise my coach showed me today with kettlebells:

    basically take a kettlebell (say 16KG) and do 19 swings and then put it down and do 1 sprawl

    then do 18 swings and 2 sprawls

    then 17 swings and 3 sprawls etc

    keep going until you do 1 swing and 19 sprawls

    This is all non stop without any rest period

    Its do-able but really really hard:eek

    Let's see if my english language skills are adequate to describe:

    Launching your legs backwards to drive your hips downward. Seen in wresling as a reaction to a double leg takedown.


    Good description?
    Bless you

    Sounds interesting... and hard. I've been thinking about using kettlebells in my workout. Do you have your own or do you use them at a gym?
